Dubai Internet City partners with Luxembourg’s Luxinnovation to support European expansion

Dubai Internet City has partnered with Luxembourg’s national innovation agency, Luxinnovation, to strengthen cross-border collaboration, foster innovation, and create new growth opportunities for technology companies in Dubai and across Europe.

The partnership will support Dubai-based startups, scale-ups, and technology companies looking to expand into European markets through Luxembourg. Businesses will gain access to the country’s innovation ecosystem, international connectivity, and strategic position within the European Union.

Luxinnovation and its partners will also provide tailored support to help companies evaluate Luxembourg as a destination for expansion and explore opportunities across the broader European market.

“Dubai Internet City serves as a gateway for technology companies seeking access to new markets, opportunities, and strategic partnerships,” said Ammar Al Malik, Executive Vice President of Commercial at TECOM Group and Managing Director of Dubai Internet City.

He added that the partnership reflects a shared commitment to collaboration and knowledge exchange while creating new opportunities for businesses in both markets, in line with the goals of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33.

David Foy, Head of International Business Relationships – Digital Economy at Luxinnovation, said the collaboration would strengthen ties between the innovation ecosystems of Dubai and Luxembourg, creating opportunities for knowledge sharing, business development, and joint innovation initiatives.

By combining Luxembourg’s position as a gateway to Europe with Dubai Internet City’s technology ecosystem in the Middle East, the partnership aims to open new pathways for international expansion and cross-border collaboration.

The agreement also reinforces Dubai Internet City’s efforts to advance innovation and entrepreneurship. The technology district is home to multinational corporations, startups, Fortune 500 companies, more than 31,000 professionals, and over 20 research, development, and innovation centers.
